iv. To orient lower density residential side or back facades to the sides and rear of large/medium scale retail, and flexible office/warehouse buildings, and their parking fields as much as possible.

vi. To orient the fronts or side facades of buildings toward the lake.

2. Building Interrelationships.

a. Intent.

i. To set back buildings, particularly residences, from streets enough to include a detached sidewalk, a landscaped park strip with street trees (where feasible) and a landscaped front yard, the minimum size of which is enough to provide the following elements:

(B) Enough area to provide the residential occupant the ability to express individuality and uniqueness with landscaping.

(C) A transitional or buffer area between the street and the private space or adjacent use.

ii. To keep buildings close enough to the street so as to create a defined street space, which aids in creating a sense of place and community, and provides informal oversight and security for the public realm.

iii. To increase the front setback on a possible street designed to connect the subarea’s residential neighborhood with the linear park along Bingham Junction Boulevard, and on to the transit stop in Subarea 6, so as to provide wider sidewalks on this street, and greater visual emphasis through extra landscaping.

v. To frame views of the lake and mountains to the north along some publicly accessible streets.

vi. To maintain an attractive, active street frontage along streets leading into residential areas.

vii. To set back from the lake, open space property line or street right-of-way enough space to provide a generously landscaped side yard, or a landscaped front yard large enough for a comfortable porch or entry area, some area to provide an expression of individuality through landscaping, and to give a generous separation between the public realm and the private.

viii. To locate larger single family residential lots along and near the lake, and possibly along a special connector street leading to the Bingham Junction Boulevard open space and the transit stop in Subarea 5.

ix. To transition from large lots near amenities such as the lake to smaller lots and greater densities at the edges of the neighborhood, and near commercial areas and arterials.
